– Alexandra Williams helped write the CM Punk promo segment that opened up the show.
– Sexxy Red’s appearance on the show was not listed on the internal rundown.
– There were said to be some growing pains with the switch back to two hours for the show, however not many, as the company has plenty of experience formatting two-hour shows with SmackDown week-to-week.
